The #Cyclocross Workout Of The Day for Monday, 11.5.18. “Monday stuff”

Howdy folks,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend of racing. I was actually able to make my way out to the races this weekend, and have some thoughts after watching a fair bit of racing that I hope to be able to share with you later in the week. Stay tuned.

Today being the Monday following a weekend of racing, we are of course going for a nice, relaxing…

Recovery Spin…

Just like it sounds…

– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street – or into your living room if you’re on the turbo watching the vid – and just spin around for an hour. Or more. Or less. Whatever it takes.

– Really small gear, no hard efforts – heck, no medium effort.

– Spin. You’re looking to move your legs around in circles, almost like there is no chain on the bike.

– The idea is to get your body moving, flush the systems out, and speed your recovery.

– Just get out on the road and spin easily and aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs will start to loosen up.

– When that happens, turn around and go home.

– If you’re doing these on the trainer, same deal. Just spin. No hard efforts, just make the legs go around in circles in a small gear.

– Follow up with as much relaxation as you can. Eat, stretch, and put your legs up. Get a massage if possible.

It’s getting harder and harder to find free race vid content, without going back to the footage of years past, so while I will continue to post up Monday cross videos, the contemporary stuff is mostly going to look like this…

Stuff...

Personal Coaching?

You betcha. I do the personal coaching/trainer thing. Clients have included multiple National and even World Champions, and 2/3 of My Cyclocross athletes made the podium at Nationals in 2009, with one taking home the Stars and Stripes. Interested? Drop me a line at: crosssports@gmail.com

Holy Crap! CrossSports schwag!

Yeah, that's right... if you have completely lost control of all sense of fiscal responsibility, you can now purchase silly articles of clothing with my blog address on them.
